Weight - 150
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Most of my vacation out east, I haven't had any internet access. You are probably wondering how my weight went up, well...I cheated...a lot. Advice to you all, do NOT go on vacation while on HCG. I could not resist the food I saw, and I have been working out, burning anywhere between 800-1100 calories a night to try and compensate and lose the weight I gained. I am going home in a few days, so I am determined to be good while on maintenance. This is the most important part of the diet because it resets your metabolism. Hopefully it will still reset mine despite all the cheating I did. So far today, I've had an apple and a cup of coffee, so I think I can make it. Today and tomorrow is still 500 calorie diet because the HCG is still in my system, and then for about 2 or 3 days after that, I have to eat the same foods, but I can have more. After that, I can eat general proteins and veggies, but I still cannot have any sugar or carbs. Hopefully this will go well! I think it will because if I can have different veggies than the ones I have been eating, and more proteins, it won't be as hard. I'll keep you updated!!!

1Body4Twenty - Day 36
Weight - 148.4
Still going down! So I am posting this entry for the 22nd late because I drove to NY. What's interesting is I cheated A LOT throughout the drive. I had a lot of carbs, mostly because I got hungry from being bored driving and stuck in the car for like 14 hours. But the drive was also extremely stressful, so it ended up acting as comfort food. It was bad, but as you will see in the next post for the 23rd, my weight actually dropped quite a big, and my theory is that happened because I was up for 24 hours and therefore needed to burn more for energy. So you will see the number when I post tonight!!!

Weight - 149.8
Still struggling to keep away from forbidden things. I guess everything gets harder towards the end, but tomorrow will officially be 5 weeks on hcg! Craziness. Today was better with the cheating, but I still snuck a few pumpkin seeds and such. I am leaving town on Wednesday morning, and hopefully being in NY for the last week, where I will have to buy all my own food, will make it easier not to cheat, considering I'm controlling what is sitting in front of me. I'm going to try, I can't guarantee anything, and I never thought I'd be the one to cheat on this diet, but it is super hard towards the end, I have to be honest with you.

So I have been so busy that it has been hard to keep blogging. So I am going to say from now on, I'm not going to list out what I eat every day until I get to maintenance. Since you have basically seen every single combination or type of food i have been eating, and I'm still eating all the same, just apply the general diet to the rest of the days, minus the cheating, which I will mention. Like today, for example, I cheated a LOT. Part of it was because my family kept taking good things out and eating them in front of me, which I didn't think was super nice (it was things like ice cream, cookies, nuts, etc.), and the other, and very large, part of it is that I was mowing the lawn with a lawn mower that is not self propelled, and we have a HUGE lawn. So I was HUNGRY obviously!! Anyways, while I should still be losing weight, I'm feeling content with my weight, even though it is fluctuation, and because I am getting frustrated with not being able to eat the way and what I want, which generally is pretty healthy, I know there is no point in giving myself a second frustration. I lose a lot when I work out so that is another thing I will be doing, and have been doing every day on an exercise bike we have at home, except on days when I mow the lawn.

1Body4Twenty - Day 33
Weight - 148.8
That working out sure paid off! Down one pound, yes!!! Today I really just kinda grazed all day, so I'm not going to write it out in set meals, I'm just going to list what I ate. I did cheat today with a small sweet fudge thing, bad bad bad, and I am hating myself for it now, but there were only 3 left, and I wanted to try it before it was gone! They looked good, and I don't know where they came from. But again, I worked out tonight, and burned about 302 calories, so that's over half of my daily intake, and hopefully that will keep me from stalling.
I started the day with a shot of grape juice and 4 garlic melba toasts (I guess I cheated a bit there too, shoot). I later had a piece of matzah, and 3 eggs that I ate throughout the after noon, (one and a half of the yolks). I had half a grape fruit, and later, I had some nuts and cherry tomatoes. For dinner, I made a can of tuna, drained completely, mixed with 3/4 cup of chopped tomato, 1/4 cup of onion, some Walden Farms ketchup, and some spicy dijon mustard.
Water - 60 oz
Sleep - 11 hours (I was in and out for the last 3 of the 11)

Ooops, gained a bit again, oh well. Today was good, I did eat an extra protein however, because I've been getting up at 5:30 most days of the week, and I've been getting so hungry! But I worked out today as well, so I ended up working off that extra protein, and I felt great.
Breakfast - MorningStar Farms veggie burger
Lunch - one can of tuna (completely drained) mixed with Walden Farms ketchup and spicy dijon mustard, 2 cups of lettuce, orange, and a spelt square.
Dinner - MorningStar Farms Asian burger, 2 kosher dill pickles, shot of grape juice, and a piece of matzah
Water - 50 oz

1Body4Twenty - Day 31
Weight - 149.4
Well, at least my weight went down slightly!! Haha, oh well. At this point, I'm happy with what I've lost, even though I want to lose way more, and I don't think it will bother me if I don't lose much more on hcg. When I can get back to normal eating habits, and I can work out more rigorously, hopefully, I will be able to drop more weight then! For now though, I am very happy that I have reached a weight that I didn't think I would even have a chance to reach again! I did cheat today; I ate a few cheddar sun chips, and I had a bite of ice cream. Not good, I know, but again, it was so hard. I also walked probably about 5 miles today, so I think I deserved a little cheating...
Breakfast - smoothie (8 strawberries, ice, Walden Farms blueberry syrup, and a little bit of protein powder to get that vanilla flavor.)
Lunch - MorningStar Farms classic burger, piece of matzah, shot of grape juice, 2 kosher dill pickles
Dinner - 4 oz tuna steak, 3/4 cup of tomato, and 1/4 cup of onion
Water - 80 oz
Sleep - 10 hours

Weight has stayed the same...it might be because I have been cheating here and there. I haven't been able to resist a couple chips or almonds that are sitting on the family counter. When I don't know they are there, it's easy, but when I've been on the diet for 4 weeks already (which by the way, I did get the measurements, and I lost a little more, but I think I'm going to wait and post the final results) it is really hard to resist it! ): I can't wait for it to be done, i'm not going to lie. I miss my sushi, eggs, and most of all, my avocados and almonds!! Not too much longer, just about a week and a half more on the actual hcg and 500 calorie diet, and then it will be maintenance. So for 3 more weeks after, I have to stick to the same foods...but at least I get to have bigger portions and actually feel like I'm eating.
Lunch - apple, piece of matzah, shot of grape juice, tuna steak 4oz, 2 kosher dill pickles. (be careful if you are going to eat pickles and be sure to check the ingredients to make sure there aren't any prohibited ingredients.)
Dinner - 2 cups of spinach, 3 hard boiled eggs (1.5 of the yolks), an orange, and a piece of matzah
Water - 50 oz
Sleep - 10 hours

Sorry i'm late with these posts guys! It was a Jewish holiday for the last 2 days, and I could not post. But I did enjoy all the sun I got! I spent most of the last 2 days outside, and I was loving it! I just had to make sure to drink enough water.
Breakfast - Coffee
Lunch - 2 cups broccoli, 1 MorningStar Farms veggie burger, an orange, and 1 plain melba toast
Dinner - 4.5 oz of Tuna (supposed to only have 3.5 oz), 2 cups arugula, a shot of grape juice, and a piece of matzah
Water - 40 oz
Sleep - 8 hours

1Body4Twenty - Day 28
Weight - 149
Ok, I have no doubt my weight is going to go up tomorrow because today, I ate waaaayyyy more than the daily allotted amount of carbohydrate. I basically ate a bunch of matzah (a type of cracker made of only flour and water). But the reason why I did was because I was having trouble with my Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and I had to eat an insoluble fiber to help my issues. So I hope it doesn't affect my weight too much. This is the first problem I have had wit my IBS since starting HCG, besides constipation, but that is normal for many HCH patients due to what we are eating every day. Hopefully, this won't happen again, especially because it is extremely uncomfortable and often painful!
Otherwise, I managed to finally find a Walden Farms sauce that I actually like (other than the blueberry)...the ketchup!!! So I'm glad I like this one at least, because i'm not a fan of the salad dressings.
Breakfast - Coffee, one package of stevia, 1 tablespoon of milk
Snack - apple
Lunch - 2 cups of sauteed cabbage, 2 MorningStar Farms chik'n grillers, one spelt square
Dinner - 4 oz of canned tuna (well drained; packed in water), Walden Farms ketchup, spicy dijon mustard, 2 cups of arugula, an orange
Water - 44 oz
Sleep - 8 hours

1Body4Twenty - Day 27
Weight - 149.4
Okay, so today I went shopping a bit, and it was amazing! Why was it amazing, you might ask? Well, because when I tried on different pairs of jeans, I realized I went from a size 12 or 12/13 to a size 8!!! (except for Levis, they are cut small, so I'm still a 10 in those). So it varies based on the type of cut, but I was having a lot of fun trying on jeans, an activity that in the past I used to dread with every bit of my being! So basically, today, I'm happy! I was tempted by those Auntie Anne's pretzels though, man it was tough. I was so hungry by the time I got home. Only a few more weeks!
Lunch - protein shake: protein powder (vanilla and chocolate mixed together), 10 strawberries, ice, water, and a bit of Walden Farms blueberry syrup; I also had 2 cups of cucumbers with minced mint mixed with them, and one plain melba toast.
Snack - Iced Green tea
Dinner - 2 cups asparagus, one MorningStar Farms tomato basil pizza burger, half a grapefruit, and 2 garlic melba toasts.
Water - 40 oz
Sleep - 9 hours
